Family and Friends 4/15/13

Hey Friends and Family,

What a great week that we had this past week, i feel like i say that in alll my e mails but its true. We really did have a good week. We worked hard and had two exchanges this past week and that  wore me out a little, sometimes exchanges can be a little stressful when i am left to tend the area with someone else coming in. It was good though! Just taking one day at a time now trying to really do all i can to help the people that are ready for me! We tracted A LOT this week and were busy going and driving everywhere! I am the " designated driver " now so thats fun! It is HOT ( sorry i complain about the weather all the time but its true! ) it was 89 degrees yesterday and i just about died walking door to door and everyone tells me " just wait for 30 more degrees!" i think oh joy!

Our area is doing great, we keep trying to build up our teaching pool and its gotten a little bigger but everyday we find new people to talk to that hopefully are quality investigators. I think that is what i am personally struggling with this past week, well my whole mission so far. Is really finding the ones who are ready for this message. We can go out and tract, all day and find very few investigators, we are lucky if we find one who will let us come back. And i know there is a better way of finding people, we have to listen to the holy ghost who can help us and direct us to the people that are ready. But i have a hard time really listening to the holy ghost, so many other things are going on in my mind 24/7 that it makes it hard! i need to be better at that i know that if we listen to the spirit in where to go and what to say we will find more quality investigators.

Other then that it had been going great in the Arlington area! Always running into interesting people and they are super nice and make me laugh because of what they say about the church or just about their life in general!

Love and miss you all!
